  • Sugar Prices Dip After Reaching Two-Month Peak Amid Global Surplus Signals
    March 11, 2026, 4:18 PM EDT. Sugar prices fell on Tuesday as May New York raw sugar futures dropped 0.90% and May London white sugar futures declined 1.34%. The retreat followed a two-month high on Monday driven by profit-taking and a slightly stronger U.S. dollar, which pressures sugar prices. Despite a 4% rise in oil prices-usually supportive to sugar as higher oil encourages cane diversion to ethanol-sugar remains under pressure. Analysts, including Czarnikow and the International Sugar Organization (ISO), forecast a sizeable global sugar surplus for 2025/26, driven by increases in India, Thailand, and Pakistan production. India's output, up 12% year-on-year, and government-approved export quota expansions add bearish sentiment. Brazil's output showed mixed signs. The surplus outlook and export potential weigh on sugar despite some production concerns in Brazil's key region.
